Birmingham City Blackburn Rovers betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game pits head-to-head two teams that enjoy to play very offensively and for this reason this match has all the conditions to be open and with several chances of goals. Birmingham are supported by their fans and have an effective offensive sector, while Blackburn have been surprisingly offensive and want to advance to the next round of the FA Cup. Therefore, we believe that both clubs will seek to overcome this playoff, making risking in favor of the "Both teams score - Yes" market a good option.

They come to this match after a home loss against Wigan Athletic by (2‑3). Birmingham City has won 3, tied 1 and lost 6 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 14 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 8 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Birmingham City comes into this match after a defeat, by 2-3, against Wigan, thus adding the second defeat in a row, both in the English second division. Remember that the home team won only 1 of the last 10 games played. Even playing at home, coach Pep Clotet should favor defensive organization and counterattacking by runners. Forward Jutkiewicz is the best scorer of this team with 7 goals. Out of this game are Roberts, Stockdale and Grounds, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Lee Camp, Jake Clarke-Salter, Kristian Pedersen, Maxime Colin, Harlee Dean, Jefferson Montero, David Davis, Gary Gardner, Dan Crowley, Jacques Maghoma, Álvaro Giménez.

Analysis Blackburn

At the individual level we highlight the striker Danny Graham, who is very strong in finishing. Out of this game are Dack, Cunningham, Williams and Holtby, all injured.
